This is so hard to write and breaks my heart that i have to write this. I am your step-son but you were a great man to me and my mother. You made my mom so happy and gave me the security knowing she was safe and taken care of. We enjoyed so many years together as you rode many shifts with me as a police officer on patrol and had many many Saturday’s together having coffee with Landon talking about life and politics. Mike you came into our lives and made us happy and challenged us with your great knowledge. I will miss you so much and have great memories of our last 28 years of you in our life. Think of all the projects you got me involved with!!! Mike thank you for being so good to our boys, they love you and i love you. It broke my heart to see you suffer the past couple months with ALS and i tried as hard as i could to help you thru the pain you were going through. Know we love you and thank you for so many great years, you truly will be missed so much!!!!!! Love Dave, Dana, Landon & Lucas
We will never ever forget you, you’re a great man and we hope you are celebrating in Heaven right now. Please guide us on this crazy earth and help us! Later Dude until we see each other again!!! 🙂
Mike was great person! His vast knowledge of so much could easily captivate anyone he talked to. While we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together, the times we did were enjoyable. You were loved by so many, Mike! May you rest in peace. Love the Day family – Kelli, Joe, Connor, and Keegan.
Mike touched the entire world of amateur radio by his diligent attention to and support of “hamlib”, a software interface to transceivers, antenna tuners, and antenna rotator hardware. Thanks Mike, you will be missed but never forgotten. David, W1HKJ
I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing.my sympathy to the family. I know how hard this is for you Toni. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Mike was a great man, husband, father, father-in-law, and grandpa. He was always there to discuss the problems and solutions of the world. He would talk with you and then email some articles about the topic a few hours later. I loved how his brain worked that way. But what truly warmed our hearts was his love for his grandkids. Mike always sought ways to connect with them and truly enjoyed spending time with them. We will miss the special times spent with Mike.
Mike, it’s been only 3 weeks but seems like an eternity since you left our world. You are greatly missed and loved. It doesn’t get easier, we just miss you more. Losing loved ones is the hardest part of life and it’s incredibly hard. I miss our Saturday coffee times, but Landon & I are continuing the tradition and talking about you as we do. I really hope you are enjoying the afterlife in Heaven with God and our passed relatives. Keep us safe down here and guide us. We are listening!
Love ya dude,
Dave
